  • These guys who hailed from Pleasanton, CA. If you want to take some illegal susbstance and fly to Venus, that is the band to listen to. "Meditation"/"Night Runner" (Bay Town 003) was issued in October, 1968. The A-Side is credited to D. Gibson, T. Fernandez, D. and J. Eaves. Band members?
    Here in stereo ! Any info about the band will be much appreciated :)

    The intro to this jam sounds like Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek . Actually it tends to have a "Doors" feel to it all the way through. I love it.

    This started off at a moderate tempo and reaches an insane level but this is what defines the 60’s. Very Cool 😎 Indeed!!!

    An incredible supersonic bionic blast of tripped out garage fuzzing lysergic magic - the way this track comes charging at you on full fuzz speed is a total mind-blowing trip! Cheers for this Psycho60s! Best wishes from The Psychedelic Sikh and Swinging Fuzz London ;o)

      Great info. Love the song Lake Shore Drive. The lyrics paint a vivid picture.
      Back in the day I've tripped on LSD while cruising down LSD. I'm a lifelong Chicagoan. It's a beautiful drive along Lake Michigan. Something you'd want to do if ever in the Windy City. ☮️

      GROOVY hippie garage tune. Rog, It sounds like a Hammond organ, I'm not sure, but that sound reminds me of Booker T & the MGs. Booker T Jones played a Hammond B3. It doesn't sound like Farfisa or Vox Continental. Love the organ, harpsichord, piano, dulcimer, marimba, xylophone. I dig those sounds. They enhance any psychedelic song.
      Two monster, organ driven songs of the late 60s, that come to mind right now are "Light My Fire" - Doors "67. That organ intro is iconic.
      and and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly "68. A 17 minute psych anthem.
      "Green Onions" by Booker T & the M.G."s from the early 60s (1962) is a killer organ instrumental.
      Rog, there are so many, many more. I'm sure you have your own favorite organ driven songs, too.
      I remember you had mentioned before that you like keyboards and tickled the ivories a bit, but were no Beethoven. Cheers!
      BTW, I'm no Mozart.

      Rog, the song may be "Fly Me to the Moon" a hit for Frank Sinatra 1964, but not an original.
      The song starts with;
      Fly fly me to the moon
      Let me play among the stars
      Let me see what spring is like
      On-a Jupiter and Mars.
      Paul McCartney and Wings mentioned Mars in song and so did David Bowie, but the lyrics you were curious about could only be from
      "Fly Me to the Moon"
      Rog, a perfect song for cruising Highway 1 is "Moonlight Drive" by The Doors. I know you can't forget Highway 101, Big Sur Rog.
